Join writer and performer Poppy Stevens for this creative workshop for 10-16 year olds at Beccles Library. This workshop will equip you with the skills to harness your creativity and get started! No previous writing experience necessary. Poppy’s workshop is brought to you as part of The Blank Page Project.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks!
Join us for games, writing, crafts and a whole lot more. You will come away with a beautifully decorated poem, as well as a bunch of creative prompts to continue your creativity at home. We will also be creating a daisy chain display for the library. These daisies might feature poems, positive affirmations or compliments to plant a seed of kindness for our fellow library users.
Workshops must be booked in advance. You can book online via eequ.
